The Scarlet Knights have added to their stable of offensive
linemen in accepting a commitment from 6-4, 275-pound Bullis School (Potomac, Md.) tackle, Justin Herron, who also held offers from Boston College, Old Dominion and Villanova.

Rutgers continued the trend of the 2014 recruiting class in locking down another under-the-radar prospect before his recruitment had the chance to truly take off.

NJ.com caught up with Herron a couple months back and he had some flattering things to say about the Rutgers program, which at the time was one of his top five schools along with Villanova, Boston College, Wake Forest, and Duke.

"The reason I like Rutgers is that the business school is really good due to the fact that they are close to Wall Street," he said. "And another reason is that I like the offensive line coach."

He also discussed his relationship with Rutgers recruiting assistant, Jim Worth.

"My recruiting coach is Jim Worth," he said. "Our relationship is good. We stay in touch weekly and he sends me weekly videos."

Strictly a basketball player until his freshman year of high school, Herron grew into a dominant player on both sides of the football by the conclusion of his 2012 high school football season.

The first time he played on the offensive side of the ball, however, occurred during his sophomore season, proving to be most natural from the offensive half of the trenches.

Schools in which he had taken unofficial visits to at the time include Maryland, Wake
Forest, Villanova, Duke, and Boston College. Michigan and Michigan St. are also said to have been actively recruiting Herron.
